Brunson and Dinwiddie just aren't attacking the paint as much with him and the ball doesn't move side to side as much.

I was afraid they would go back to Luka/Powell PNR problem is the Jazz have size to stop Powell from being super effective on that lob stuff

Yepppp sigh

[BPo001]

Ice cold all the sudden

[EricaLubarsky]

No shit it’s against the Mavs

Tuck these refs and fuck Silver too

[BPo001]

Gotta keep this under 10 going into halftime.

[Dallas41]

Might want to go a few minutes without the two Wizzards on the floor to help the defense.

[EricaLubarsky]

Suck his duck already

Refs missed the travel but okay

Same.

[tap2390]

Utah, and Donovan Mitchell in particular are such frauds. Fake tough guys.

[EricaLubarsky]

Announcers: celebrating your NBA champion Utah Jazz!

[JTmoney2424]

27% is laughable. Guys need to make their shots. The looks are definitely there and all the Jazz are doing differently is picking up full court.

[EricaLubarsky]

I thought National broadcasters were supposed to build hype and interest by delving into storylines not sucking the home teams dick

[EricaLubarsky]

27/20 not gonna get it done

Good thing we’ll have a crazy second half like always and end up shooting 48/36

It was the correct call.

Mavs are settling for jumpers which is why they aren't getting many calls this game.

Utah is attacking the basket and usually the team that is more aggressive is going to get more callas.

Dallas needs to decide if they want to stay in the Luka PNR sets or go back to the attacking offensive sets with JB getting downhill.

Right now he's deferring to LUka and the Jazz are able to play better defense now

[EricaLubarsky]

Refs ordered to foul Kleber out in the first half to prevent a second half run

[JTmoney2424]

Brunson has been bad too. He was due for a bad game though

[tap2390]

Lol Jazz get a lead and act like they’re the hottest shit in the world. They are perennial underachievers who are going to get wrecked after half time.

[EricaLubarsky]

On pace to score 73

[Dallas41]

Gobert got the Mavs scared to attack the paint

[tap2390]

If they want to grab and play dirty we should be playing that game too. These refs are fucking crooks.

[EricaLubarsky]

26 fouls in the half

Totally unwatchable

It’s what you get when refs don’t call every shove. Guys can tackle each other and no one scores

They need to challenge him. Utah is a different team with him not in the game.

[EricaLubarsky]

27 fouls

16-11

[BPo001]

Damn that 3 hurt going into the half. Luckily Luka got a bucket at the buzzer

[EricaLubarsky]

82-108 pace

Good thing Jazz are cocky assholes who only know how to act cocky until the Mavs punch them in the face

[JTmoney2424]

Going to need Luca to be on attack mode in the 2nd half. His teammates are shooting like garbage today.

[FreshJive]

Dinwiddie looks like he has no plan on at least half of his drives, and doesn’t have Brunson’s ability to improvise once he gets in the paint.

Dinwiddie needs to step it the f up. Luka has 14 and is being cautious with his leg.

[JTmoney2424]

Luca is the only one shooting well today. Rest of team is 7-30 in the first half. I can’t see them shooting this bad in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about

That's not really a huge disparity and tbh the Mavs haven't been as aggressive this game getting into the paint.

You'd think Utah was shooting 30 FT's vs the Mavs 10 especially since they are the home team.

Mavs just need to decide what style of ball they want to play half court PNR with Luka and Powell or up-tempo attacking style with JB and Dinwiddie playing downhill.

Right now they just seem confused as what style they want to play

[blessednegr0]

Jason Kidd makes great adjustments at half time. We are only down 11 and this is the worst basketball I've seen from our team in a long time. Let's hope the refs don't dictate the 2nd half. I still believe.

I didn't like bringing him back today. I feel like it would've been more beneficial to bring him back during a home game.

Its a road game. ITs typically what happens. Didn't happen last game. This may be their stinker on the road. Jazz are desperate.

I don't think its any worse officiated than normal. Home cooking.

[EricaLubarsky]

NBA refused to even acknowledge Oneals flagrants so that’s the precedent we rolling with

It ain’t the disparity. It’s a shit ton of calls and it’s ugly to watch and the refs could be calling 3x the calls with how physical it is

This is like a Pistons-Pacers game of the 90s

Mavs third quarter

Fuck the Jazz. Destroy them and salt the earth so they have no option but to have a fire sale this summer.

[JTmoney2424]

Perfect start. These same shots were there in the 1st half but finally starting to knock them down.

[Dallas41]

Powell can;t play in this series

[JTmoney2424]

JB going into beast mode this 3rd Q
